Foreign textile industries and their governments would react unfavorably. I submit that there is a respectable limitation to this argument. There is a point where we must stop being afraid of other foreign governments. such as Japan. to whom we have poured millions of dollars and the finest and most modern of textile machinery out of the goodness of our heartonly in the end to find Japan fully exploiting her cheaplabor. paid coolie wages. for cutthroat competition against her benefactorthe United States. The point at which we must call a halt to this fear psychology of foreign reaction is that point where we are starting to export American jobs to cheap labor. foreign beneficiary countries. In short. this bill calls for a method by which to meet this unfair. cheaplabor. cutthroat competition by giving our cotton textile Industry the ability to compete for foreign markets.
